LORD LANsoo
Gives His opinion on the Fisheries
Question.

TORONTO, Ont, May 25.-The Governor
General was entertained by the National
Club last night. In an address he said on
the fisheries question; 1T must be source
of pain that we should for SO many months,
which. although not without its local i'm
portance. is after all, not one of first rate
magnitude. In spite Of all that has happen

shown the greatest anxiety to avoid any
local action likely to increase the tension Of
there Should have been so much friction up
on the spot. but that there should have been
so little The case is eminently one in which

The Maud Mason Mystery Solved.


WATERvILLE, May %. = Miss Maud
Mason of Waterville, who mysteriously dis
appeared night before last, was found last
evening in piece Of woods near the village.
George Blair was found on the street and
arrested. Blair was told that if he would
leave town and keep away he could go,
which he did. Great excitement was mani
Tested when he was arrested and coat of
tar and feathers was talked of. Maud's ex-
PLANTATION is that she and Blair walked and
talked together, not dreaming Of the late
ness of the hour; that it being warm she
hitched her horse and they sat talking till
aroused by parties searching for her; that
then they were both frightened and ran a
mile or more to another piece of woods, and
feeling afraid to be seen in daylight were
waiting till evening, when she was going
home.
Governor and Council at Thomaston.
THoMAsToN, May 25.-The Governor and
Council are at the State prison today. The
object of their visit is to see what action can
be taken looking to the division of the en-
ployments in the prison workshop. The last
Legislature, it will be remembered, passed
law that not more than 20 per cent. of the
men should be employed at any one trade.
An inventor called at the Council Chamber
in Augusta yesterday and exhibited patent
hinge. As there is some prospect that
trunks may be manufactured at the prison,
at the request of the man sample of the
hinge was forwarded to Thomaston. The
Governor and Council were accompanied to-
dou hu Ipcnaofnrc Parfar Paa,
The convicts who desired to see the Gov
ernCr were called up and their cases re-
viewed. While there the contract to furnish
water for the prison by the Camden and
Rockland Water Co. was completed. Gov
ernor Bodwell and party left by special
train this evening at Z o'clock. The Gov
srnor went to Boston.
The Council took an excursion into the
guard room at high noon, when the prison
bell tolled, and took look at the prisoners
coming out of the workshops in line, with
their dinner pals ON their arms, single file,
tramping to their cells. Gould and Graves
were in the line. 1t was raining and as
Gould came out of the shop he shivered a lit
tie and buttoned his coat collar tight around
his neck. He looked up to the window, saw
the Governor and Council, and hurried out
of sight. The prison garb is becoming to
Graves. He looks first rate. Graves has
not been here long enough to learn how to
keep in good time in the single file drill.

LONDON, May 25.-John Morley spoke to-
day at an immense anti-coercion meeting at
Norwich. He said the time was now ripe
for c0nciliatory movement by the Liberals,
because the Unionists were forcing hateful
coercion bill upon them, and replying to ap-
peals by deliantly and doggedly making the
bill as drastic as possible. Lord Salisbury
had referred to the Irish as Hottentots, but
II, was the Conservative party that had
adopted Hottentot policy, and was endeav-
ofing to pass HotteDtot bill.

Forest Fires In York.

A forest fire was reported raging in the
woods Of old York yesterday and several
hundred men were fighting it on Mt. Aga

dred acres of timber land have been de-
stroyed. Monday night the flames could be
seen shooting upward over a wide stretch Of
territory, the fire having evidently been
greatly extended during the day. The whole

be on fire, and the cOnfagration is probably
the woods of York. There are not many

CONWAY SIGNS WITH LAWRENCE.
The following appeared in yesterdays
Lawrence Times:
The Times intinated yesterday that a
great pitcher was to be signed by the local
management. The player Is Dick Conway,
ana ne signed a Lawrence contract yester-
day morning, The signing Of Dick means
victory and the pennant. IL Is very prob
able that the other end af the famous Con-
way brothers battery will also be signed.
A week or so ago the Portland manage
ment received telegram from President
Knox Of the Lawrenees, asking II they
would consent to allow Conway TO pitch
few games for them. An answer was sent
back that they were willing he should do so,
but that Portland would not waive its re-
serve right TO Ihim. Later a telegram was
received from Conway himself asking II
Portland would release him. Noanswer has
been received by him. 1t was the inten-
tlon that If he wished to sign with any Of
the four lowest clubs on the list to release
him, but not to allow him to sign with either
Lowell. Manchester or Boston Blues. As
he signed with Lawrence the PortlaRds will
probably not contest the matter, although
they have made no statement In regard TO IL.
The item from the Lawrence Times is the
only notice that has been received Of Con-
ways signing with Lawrence.
